The feel

Mijas is really several places: the white village of Mijas Pueblo, the coastal strip of La Cala de Mijas, and the residential districts of Calahonda, Riviera del Sol and Sitio de Calahonda. The pueblo has donkey taxis, small museums and views to the sea; La Cala has a beach, a promenade and a growing restaurant scene. It is one of the most popular municipalities for northern European buyers for good reason.

Why consider it

A village and a coast in one municipality
A strong international community and services
Golf, beaches and the airport all within reach

The property

New-build is spread along the coast and the hills, from apartments to villas; Mijas Pueblo is mostly resale and renovation. The coastal districts vary enormously in age, density and community feel.
